K2 - Book Of The Dead (2005)
Click to listen sample
Any time you see Allan Holdsworth on a record you have a warranty. As always his work is superb and this time it mixes perfectly
with Spock's Beard's Ryo Okumoto's Moog and piano parts. The late Shaun Guerin (this production in fact was recorded a couple
of years ago) couldn't avoid the obvious comparisons with Peter Gabriel, but his overall effort is excelent. We need to underline
Yvette Devereaux's work on violin fusioning with Holdsworth's guitar in some pieces we haven't heard since his colaboration
with Eddie Jobson in UK.
Straight forward classic vein progrock mixed with contemporary fusion (some reminiscent of the project Vertu). A very
good addition to your collection.
